Interesting test. Most thorough one I've seen posted so far. However the one thing I've noticed from my 2 different augers that I've owned, plus 2 others that I've borrowed, the make of auger can and will make all the difference in the world! I would love to see this test again but all the same manufacturer and model of auger, just in different sizes and if possible one powered. As it is my current auger has gone through ice more than twice as fast as other highly recommended hand augers that are sharp. I've also punched about 8 holes in the time that a power auger took to do one (unknown type, but figure the blade was dull). And I have never put more than minimal pressure on the blades.
Set up a test w/ all the same auger, but different sizes I'd really love to see that!
